On a Soapbox
(steps onto soapbox)…OK, Ladies! Buckle up, because I’m about to make some of you uncomfortable – some of you are going to squirm and frankly, I don’t care. Go ahead and take deep breaths because here it goes… it’s time to talk about sex. Yep, I said it – Sex. Many of you have young … [Read more…]

It is usually when I am tired; bone tired … [Read more…]
Believing is Seeing
“O, Lord, open his eyes so that he may see.” 2 Kings 6:17 Discouragement is a normal emotion when we’ve experienced some sort of loss, or when we are waiting on God to do something in our lives. It may be that we are waiting on God to find our mate, begin a family, provide … [Read more…]
Meant for So Much More
